"I have had a terrible reaction to this drug, which has resulted in 2 hospital stays and lingering side effects. I took the tablets as prescribed for 5 days. First 2 days, no side effects. Day 3-4, chills and the start of a rash. Day 5, rushed to ER due to rashes all over and swelling of the eyes. These symptoms have now gone away, but deep tissue itchiness continues. These symptoms sent us back to the ER, where I was admitted and monitored for 5 days and released. Post-hospital experience, now 12 days later, includes extreme fatigue, rapid dropping of blood pressure, making it difficult to stand and walk, back pain, no stamina or strength. Seeing a blood specialist next week for further diagnosis."
